There are several current and imminent orthotic and prosthetic (OandP) fitting scenarios that would greatly benefit from the ability to wirelessly collect and transmit physiological information from the user. Both upper- and lower- limb OandP fittings that: 1) use osseointegration, 2) have cable management issues, and 3) could benefit from physiological information from locations proximal to the ...

Triton Systems, Inc., teamed with an academic partner, propose to: a) investigate the intensity and shape of the electromagnetic field (EMF) radiated by the human body, and b) develop a simulation of the resulting field to further explore the use of the human EMF to predict warfighter physiological status.

Supplemental oxygen is needed by aircrews and divers. However, oxygen use is limited by the onset of pulmonary oxygen toxicity (PO2T) which can significantly damage pulmonary tissues leading to decreased performance among other adverse effects. A real time sensor that is sensitive and selective with fast response is needed to monitor warfighter breath for trace VOC (volatile organic compound) spe ...

Junctional and inguinal bleedingfrom battlefield injuries is a significant and challenging problem. Inventors have developed new types of tourniquets, includingthe Abdominal AorticJunctional Tourniquet™ (AAJT), the Combat Ready Clamp™ (CRoC), the SAM Junctional Tourniquet (SJT), and theJunctional Emergency Treatment Tool (JETT) to address theseinjuries.Whilethese new tourniquets have been deve ...

Reliance on fishmeal and fish oil is a significant constraint to aquaculture expansion in America, and globally. As U.S. marine fish farming expands, genetic improvements could increase economic performance and decrease ecological footprint. This is critically important to sustainability, scalability and profitability of the industry, and is key to attracting capital investment. Commercial opportu ...

The field of surgical simulation is fairly crowded with many products and research groups developing physical and virtual simulators. Much of this previous work is in simulating minimally invasive surgeries. The considerable body of work generated in de

The DSOM system realized in a Phase II effort will provide a modular, compact and reconfigurable system with the ability to provide unique and new information about the scene of interest (e.g. temporal and height information) when compared with traditional SAR sensors. When compared with other imaging technologies, DSOM has the important advantages of being operable through cloud cover and at nigh ...

Craniofacial injuries to warfighters are on the rise as improvements to body armor have caused the unprotected face of the soldier to become a target for attack. These injuries are often associated with severe trauma to the underlying cartilage structure.

Triton is developing a device to be used in the temporary management of injury following ocular trauma. Triton is characterizing performance in vivo in Phase II.

Regeneration of cartilage and cartilage repair are challenging due to limited cellularity of the tissue and the failure of allografts and tissue engineered cartilage constructs to integrate with host tissue. To overcome this limitation, many surgeons are
